Bill Cleary scored a goal, but Sweden's national hockey team defeated the U.S. Olympic squad 4 to 3 last night.

Leading 3 to 2 on the strength of goals by Cleary, John Mayasich of Eveleth, Minn., and Gordon Christian of Warroad, Minn., the U.S. was unable to stave off a late rally by Sweden which culminated in two last period goals.
